I have 2 permits on the way and not sure what i want to get. I know I want a .45 and possibly a revolver . Any suggestions?

What do you have now?

Current inventory will help dictate future purchases

right now I have a G23. i removed the stock barrel and added bar sto stainless steel precision barrel and other stainless internal parts, and a remington tactical 12 gauge. Not interested in another .40 cal or 9mm. Just trying to get some ideas.

Springfield XDS is a 45. Beautiful little gun.

 

If you have the budget, get a nice 1911.

i was thinking of a 1911. was doing some research on them. any recommendations?

I like the SW1911, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

My first 2 toys were also a G23 and a remington 870.

 

Then I got a ruger SR 1911 to cover my 45. Next (already bought just waiting for 30 days to lapse) is a beretta 92fs inox.

 

Coming from someone who had a similar inventory as you to start with, that's the direction I went in. Next is a 357 revolver when I get my next round of permits approved

Glock23 and 12 gauge were my first firearms as well. Then came the AR, 10/22 and now a springfield 1911.

 

Heard a lot of great reviews on the ruger sr1911 but are apparently hard to source.

 

What price range are you looking at?

I'm thinking around $1000 for the 1911, not trying to break the bank, but I do want something nice and reliable. Also gonna start building an AR in near future. Plus I'll have another permit to use before it expires. So i think $1000 is a good number. There is just so much info out there and lots of bias opinions because thats all they have shot or owned.

What about a Beretta 92fs, S&W 629 or H&K USP?

Any reason why not a 9mm? A good 9mm is just something I think every serious gun owner needs to have.

If a .45, either a good 1911 (but they will not be cheap), or an HK45.
